Welcome to the James Joyce Center
The James Joyce Center is to promote an understanding of the life and works of James Joyce. In doing so, the Center tries to work with institutions to celebrate Ireland's rich cultural heritage (遗产). The James Joyce Center provides casual visitors with a rewarding and memorable experience.
The Center's home is a restored 18th century townhouse in the north of Dublin, the city of Joyce's birth and the setting for all his works. From this central place in Joyce's heartland, the Center aims to develop an appreciation of this most remarkable and significant literary figure of the 20th century.
No. 35 North Great George's Street was built in 1784 and decorated with fine plasterwork (灰泥) by Michael Stapleton. The
house was restored in the 1980s and opened as the James Joyce Center in 1996, run by members of Joyce's sister's family.
The Kenmare Room is used for lectures and has a small show of reproductions of Joyce family pictures. In addition, this room provides details of Joyce's life and times, a reading table where visitors can sit and read works by and about Joyce, and a show of some of the many translations of Joyce's works.
Exhibitions
The center's permanent and temporary exhibitions show various aspects of Joyce's life and work. Through shows and three films, you may dig into the novel about its historical background and learn more about Joyce's life. The Center also hosts International Joyce, an exhibition that provides a wonderful introduction to the life and works of James Joyce.
Walking Tours
Our walking tours are available every Saturday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and by advanced booking on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. (with at least four people). Adults £10; Seniors/Students £8. For bookings, contact info@jamesjoyce.ie. We look forward to your visit.

“Once there was the Stone Age, then the Bronze Age, and now we are in the middle of the Plastic Age,” said teenager Boyan Slat. “Every year, we produce 300 million tons of plastic. Much of it reaches our oceans.”
At the age of 16, Boyan Slat scuba dived off Greece in the Mediterranean Sea seeing more rubbish floating on and under the surface. He said, “At first, I thought I was swimming through strange jellyfish. Instead, I swam through more plastic bags than fish.” Seeing all the ocean trash, he asked himself,“Why not clean it up?”
Slat quit his Aerospace Engineering studies to create www. theoceancleanup. com in order to fund his research on how to pick up all the plastic trash floating on the oceans of the world. Researchers discovered that 46, 000 pieces of plastic float on every square mile of the oceans, produced by billions of humans around the planet throwing their plastic into rivers, streams and directly into the oceans. What's worse, plastic does not break down.
Today, we find plastic in the tissue of about every creature in the oceans. Additionally, millions of tons of plastic gather in giant oceangoing garbage patches (垃圾带). You may Google “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch”. It grows from 60 to 90 feet deep in places. It kills millions of sea birds, turtles, sharks, dolphins and whales.
Being a brilliant, innocent teenager, Boyan Slat decided to construct designs of some equipment that would collect millions of tons of plastic floating on our oceans. He created a solarpowered trawler (拖网渔船) to pick up surface plastic, chew it up and store it
in huge bins for collection. He also created floating booms (挡栅) that allow the oceans to sweep the plastic for efficient pickup. When you see the designs, they will blow your mind.
Boyan Slat stands at the head of his class in creating solutions for the folly of humans. If ever humans need leaders to stand up and be counted, we need more people like Boyan Slat to lead us out of damaging our planet home towards a biologically healthy future.
语篇解读:16岁的Boyan Slat设计出了专门用于收集海洋塑料垃圾的设备,为保护海洋生态系统作出了杰出的贡献。
4.Boyan Slat said we are in the Plastic Age because nowadays ________.
A.the use of plastic is all humans' big concern
B.there is too much plastic all over the world
C.plastic threatens many creatures in the oceans
D.plastic is the most important material in our daily life
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,Boyan Slat在说了我们处在塑料时代之后,紧接着说明我们每年制造大量塑料这一事实。由此可推知,他这样说是因为现在全世界有太多塑料。
5.The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.the popularity of plastic
B.the great harm caused by plastic rubbish
C.the present situation of garbage patches
D.the relationship between plastic and animals
解析:选B 段落大意题。通读第四段可知,本段主要讲了被废弃在海洋中的塑料垃圾对海洋生物造成的巨大危害。
6.Which of the following were Boyan Slat's efforts to fight
against plastic rubbish on the oceans?
a.He created floating booms.
b.He created a rubbishpicking trawler.
c.He invented special huge bins for collection.
d.He started www. theoceancleanup. com to raise funds.
A.a, b, d B.a, c, d
C.a, d, c D.b, c, d
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第五段第二、三句可知,他创造了用来捡拾海洋垃圾的太阳能拖网渔船以及漂浮水栅;根据第三段第一句可知,他为清理海洋垃圾筹资而创建了www. theoceancleanup. com这一网站。综上可知,应选A项。
7. Which of the following words can best describe Boyan Slat?
A.Generous and hardworking.
B.Careful and strongwilled.
C.Cheerful and friendly.
D.Creative and practical.
解析:选D 推理判断题。综合全文可知,Boyan Slat 在发现问题后便开始着手解决问题,并将想法付诸实践,达到了预期效果。由此可推知,他是个很务实的人。根据第五段介绍的他的发明可知,他很有创造力。故选D项。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
The effect of bullying (欺凌) can be serious and even lead to tragedy. Unfortunately, not much research is done into it.
__1__ That year, two students with shotguns, both of whom had been considered gifted and who had been bullied for years, killed 13 people, wounded 24 and then committed suicide. A year later, an
analysis by the U.S. government found that bullying played a major role in more than twothirds of the campus violence.
__2__ Many invaders throughout history have tried to defend their bullying behavior by claiming that they themselves were bullied. __3__ Although there is no justification (正当的理由) for bullying, many of the worst humans in history have indeed been bullies and victims of bullying.
Since bullying is often ignored, it may provide an important clue in crowd behavior and passerby behavior. Psychologists have been puzzled by the coldness of crowds and bystanders when crimes occur in crowded places. __4__ When someone is bullied, it is not only the bully and the victim who are becoming less sensitive to violence. __5__ In this sense, bullying affects not only the bullied but his friends and classmates and the whole society.
A.Research indicates that the victim often becomes the bully.
B.Many of them have suggested bullying as one of the reasons of the coldness.
C.More attention should be paid to people's reaction to bullying when it happens.
D.Hitler, for example, is claimed to have been a victim of bullying in his childhood.
E.Campus bullying is becoming a serious problem in some high schools in big cities.
F.The friends and classmates of the bully and the victim also accept the violence as normal.
G.The link between bullying and school violence has attracted increasing attention since 1999.
语篇解读:被大家忽视的欺凌行为变得逐渐严重,甚至导致悲剧的发生。欺凌行为不仅影响到受欺负的人本身,也会影响到他的朋友和同学,乃至整个社会。
1.选G 根据下一句中的That year可知,此处应该有具体年份的出现。故选G项,意为“欺凌和校园暴力之间的联系自从1999年以来已经引起了越来越多的注意”。
2.选A 根据空后的“...have tried to defend their bullying (欺凌) behavior by claiming that they themselves were bullied.”可知,历史中的许多侵略者通过声称自己是被欺凌的来给自己的欺凌行为辩护。再结合段末的“victims of bullying”可知,此处指曾经的受害者往往会变成施暴者。故选A项。
3.选D 上文中提到历史中有很多这样的人,所以下面就拿希特勒为例来说明。故选D项(例如,有人称希特勒在小的时候就是欺凌行为的受害者)。
4.选B 上一句提到当犯罪发生在人多的地方时,心理学家们对周围人群的冷漠表示困惑。B项中的them应是指代上一句中的Psychologists, the coldness与上一句中的the coldness相照应。故选B项(许多心理学家认为,欺凌是冷漠的原因之一)。
5.选F 根据上一句中出现的not only可知,此处应该有but also意思的连接。F项中的also给出提示,不仅施暴者和受害者对暴力不再敏感,而且施暴者和受害者的朋友和同学也都认为暴力是很正常的事情。两句正好连接,故选F项。
